sye Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Does it really matter waht you call your band?..and does anyone really just stumble apon a name these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tav Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 I think a name is important. If people see a catchy/cool name they are more likely to remember you. Also it can communicate the style of music/what you have to say in one or a few words...e.g Metallica...obviously a metal band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sye Posted August 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Yeah, I could imagine a band called death satan dill satan blah blah being a mellow acoustic band... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 i think names are pretty important, they convey your first impression of a band, if i said today i got cd's by nevermore and shadows fall (which i did) then you could probably guess they were hevy metal or something similaralso it gives you an impression of the bands attitude, you can guess nevermore are going to be a pretty serious band, whereas the offspring sound more happy and funat it gives you your first idea on how 'cool' the band is, if a cd has a cool name on it then you are more likely to pick it up than if it had a dumb name (or vice versa depending on taste)David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulscoconutass Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Originally posted by sye 1) Does it really matter waht you call your band? 2)..and does anyone really just stumble apon a name these days? 1) it shoudn't really because a name is just..... a name - unless its a persona - then the name would be relevant. However a name is only something that a band is recognised by, nothing more - some are gender specific. others aren't.2) Onion Terror - was the name of a horse in a brass eye documentary about gambling or something like tha, and as soon as i heard it i thought it was the shizz nit. But i dont know who could have decided on last time perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF Scott Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 yes. people do stumble across bandnames these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Band names are a tough one to get right. I used to be in a punk band called Feeble, a rock band called Konspiracy, a good band (pretty much genre-less at the time) called Arnica and I used to engineer for a band called the Small Gentlemen. I was also in another band but I can't remember the name of it. It must have been a good name then if I can't remember it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 I was once in a band called Colin Cant and the Zimbabwe Five. For no reason other than it sounded funny at the time. Sadly we got boycotted because someone spread a rumour that we were from South Africa and supported apartheid. Didn't even know what it was then, but we still lost a few good gigs, so band names can make a difference.I was also once in 'Screamin for Pussy' who didn't do too well either...take care, kids...

SHAWN THE OX Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 A bands name is very important coz when people arent listening to you or seeing you live the name is all they have to go on.so it has to catchy and descriptive of the bands sound,band members unite under the banner of a name and you should be proud of your name coz if people ask whats the name of your band? and you start by saying its weird but or its stupid but thats not a good thing I should know Ive been inDIRGEThe JanetsTYDERIUMVINYL BILLeric euanstay away from numbers they suck!

sye Posted September 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 So basically all that matter is that the name isn't terrible or misleading.We wanted to call our band Seven Days Self-denial but soon realised that people would never remember that....
